  2. Click Get Program Registration Online
  3. A prompt will display indicating if the information is valid or not.
  4. If valid, the information will be displayed. The registration can then be printed for future reference or saved to a file.  When ready to complete, click REGISTER.

  1. Click SELECT FILE and locate the text file containing the registration block.
  2. Select the file and click OPEN

This is also easy, but requires you have access to the email containing the program registration block or file where you had copied and saved the registration block.

Enter Registration Manually

  2. Ensure that the Automatic Scoring System matches what is on the invoice. Some manufactures have different scoring systems and front desks. For example, there is Conqueror Pro and there is Conqueror (v1-v2) and they are not the same.
  3. Ensure that the number of lanes is correct.
  4. The email address and physical address are not required to be exactly entered.
  5. Temporary Registration should be set to NO.
